30-492: A Brittonic compound name *Arto-uiros should produce Old Welsh *Artgur (where -u- represents the short vowel /u/) and Middle/Modern Welsh *Arthwr and not Arthur (where -u- is a long vowel /ʉː/) In Welsh poetry the name is always spelled Arthur and is exclusively rhymed with words ending in -ur —never words ending in -wr —which confirms that the second element cannot be [g]wr "man"). An alternative theory, which has gained limited acceptance among scholars, derives
45-537: A Celtic origin, being a Latinization of the hypothetical name *Artorījos , derived from the patronym *Arto-rīg-ios , meaning "Son of the Bear/Warrior-King". *Arto-rīg-ios is unattested, but the root, *arto-rīg , "bear/warrior-king", is the source of the Old Irish personal name Artrí , while the similar *Arto-maglos , "bear-prince", produced names in several Brittonic languages.

120-528: The Celtic short compositional vowel -o- was lengthened and the long -ī- in the second element of the compound -rījos was shortened by Latin speakers, under the influence of Latin agent nouns ending in -tōr (and their derivatives in -tōrius ). Some scholars have noted that the legendary King Arthur 's name only appears as Arthur , Arthurus , or Arturus in early Latin Arthurian texts, never as Artōrius (although
